Veggie Poha

Good Morning to all the blog readers!! I woke up to the bell of milkman today asking for monthly payment of milk. After all the calculations and counting, I found it difficult to sleep again. So I spent few minutes of this early morning in my balcony enjoying the lovely breeze, cheerful chirping of birds and scent of fresh curry leaves from the plant that I have kept in my house. In daily knick knacks of life, we usually forget how gifted we are in form of mother nature; such beautiful flowers, lush green grass, cooling rains, magnificent wildlife and so on.

With a smile on my lips and harmony in mind, I moved towards the kitchen for preparing "Veggie Poha". Inspired by the nature around, I am going to add lots of fresh vegetables to the Poha adding up to its juiciness and nuts for that additional crunch :) . I am going to prepare half of the quantity mentioned in below ingredients.

About Me

I am a software engineer by profession. I have spent almost 4 years working in IT industry. My fondness for food, love for writing and willingness to learn photography has led to the making of “Kuch Pak Raha Hai”. This blog is not only a collection of recipes but my journey in the world of cooking.
The blog will indeed be a companion for those who are learning the “C” of cooking or someone who is looking for simple home style recipes. The attempt has been made to write this blog in a “Help Manual” style explaining each and every step along with the supporting pictures. My mother is my “Cooking Guru”, so the style and recipes are totally inspired by her. As I am born and brought up in a strictly vegetarian family, apologies to all the non-veg lovers, this blog will include only vegetarian recipes :P .
